Actually... At the time I Definitely
WAS!
In fact, there were more than a few years I made more coin off wolf hides than most will
ever realize in a year of "wages".
Not an "easy" game by any means, just something it turned out I was Damn Good at.
And the ungulate populations in the areas I hunted them Very Much showed Positive Responses.
I've slowed on that these days, for a myriad of reasons. Probably foremost amongst those is the fact I raise & live with Wolf Hybrids (50%), although the Inuit also played a factor by naming the Wolf as my Kindred Spirit (and central to my Inuit name btw).
Got an issue with any of that, I could not care less.
I'll simply refer you to my main by-line:
"Hunt Hard. Shoot Straight. Kill Clean. Apologize to NO-ONE!"
Cheers,
